The Liverpool Tapestry:
People, Places and Passions

“
I have enjoyed different types of needlework for many years and
canvas work is one of my favourites, so it was a great opportunity
for me to be involved in the Tapestry project. I was impressed with
the enthusiasm and guidance given at the meetings, where I enjoyed
the opportunity to meet other stitchers and see so many different
pieces of work.
I chose “Old and New” as my theme because I loved visiting
the Tall Ships event in 2008. I also observed the progress of the
construction of the ‘One Park West’ building. It rises like the
prow of a gigantic ship and stands roughly where ships entered
the original Pool of Liverpool so many centuries ago. It is like an
echo of our early maritime history, on which our city was built, and
yet it also points to the future and our modern developments in
Liverpool One.”
